Last week in the #PleiadesGazetteer (1-8 December 2025) the Pleiades editorial college published 8 new and 441 updated place resources, reflecting the work of Jeffrey Becker, Tom Elliott, Maxime Guénette, Greta Hawes, Brady Kiesling, R. Scott Smith, Scott Vanderbilt and Enes Yılandiloğlu.

A list of all new and changed resources, complete with titles, descriptions, bylines, change summaries, and links to the actual gazetteer entries, as well as an overview map, may be read on the blog at https://pleiades.stoa.org/news/blog/last-week-in-pleiades-1-8-december-2025

Sometimes I post #quiz Qs or #jokes. Here’s one the #classics gang liked.

A: "So, if you press the command key, then Z, it will undo the last action. Similarly, with X it will cut text, C will copy, V pastes, and B toggles bold on selected text."
B: "What's an N key do?"
A: "Uh, bit off-topic, but okay... He's Gilgamesh's friend."

Those ancient statues weren’t meant to be covered — their nudity was intentional, symbolic, and deeply cultural. 👀🔥

Maybe it’s time we question why our era insists on dressing the ancient world in modesty it never asked for.

I was reminded today that Meta/Facebook's data center project is called Hyperion. Here are some facts about that name that may or may not be of interest.

Hyperion's name comes from two Greek words that together mean "watcher from above" or "he who goes above".

Hyperion was a Titan, the ancient Greek gods that preceded the Olympian gods like Zeus, Athena, etc. Prometheus, Atlas, and the word Titan itself are frequently used to name tech projects. A fun web search is "COMPANY_NAME Titan"; try it. It seems lost on these folks that the Titans were deposed by the Olympian gods and condemned to an eternity in Tartarus, a kind of hell. In other words they're the loser gods, if you want to be simplistic and vulgar about it.

It is believed that one of Hyperion's offspring, Helios, as well as all of Helios's offspring, were imagined as being black-skinned.

My wife, who is a classicist, and I regularly shake our heads about the names of tech projects like this. I always ask her for the dirt on the name, and she always delivers (as in the above, which I credit to her).

The pagans cry out: "We were doomed at birth;
a bitter day has dawned for us today!
We've been bereft of all our lords and peers,
the gallant Charles is coming with his host,
we hear the clear-voiced trumpets of the French and the uproar of the battle cry "Monjoy."
So great is the ferocity of Roland,
no mortal man will ever vanquish him;
